Not really. If I ever detected that my heart was actually bleeding, I’d seek medical assistance immediately because otherwise Zelda would get on my case. I write this title to mock this lady right here.
Today, I write this letter with a bleeding heart. I admire Obama. But he has let me down. I am disappointed because his presidency could have done more for our country, and sadly, the many taken lives who cannot read this essay. I still worry about urgent social tensions facing our nation, and I recognize their ongoing complexities in policy and legislative action. But gun violence can be averted. Can our country ever be free from senseless gun-crime?
Firearm possession should be banned in America; President Obama can orchestrate this directive. His presidency can be remembered as a remarkable turn in United States history where a progressive leader forever changed the landscape under which we live and work. This is his legacy.
This makes me sad. No, seriously, it does. This lady is the exactly perfect representative of my enemy, and it makes me sad because she should not be my enemy. Oh, it’s not because we’ve got one single thing in common…except we do, don’t we? Hell, this lady and I should be soulmates.
Stop laughing, damn it! I’m completely serious. Look at the profile in that second link. Look at it! This woman put serious effort into becoming that wackily deviant. And so have I. I would love to call such a person…a carefully-approached acquaintance, on a good day.
But I can’t do that. Because we’re enemies.
No, no, not just because of the gun thing. Sincere people can sincerely disagree about the gun thing. Not intelligently, you know, but sincerely. I’ve had friends who ‘didn’t like guns.’ So have you, I bet. It’s not because of the guns, exactly.
It’s because she wants me dead. I don’t want her dead, I want her to live for a thousand years. I think she’s funny as hell. But she must want me dead – me personally, even though we’ve never met and god willing never will – or she wouldn’t have called down the power of the State on me, just because a few guns she’ll never see frighten her in theory.
This was stated very clearly by William Grigg, whom I sometimes think might actually be the best freedom writer of this decade.
If Barbara LeSavoy is genuinely the person described in her op-ed column, she is owed a measure of pity tempered with wariness. If she is engaged in some kind of bizarre performance art, the skill she displays is worthy of applause – as long as she doesn’t lose herself in the role. It’s worth remembering that sentiments of the kind she expressed are hardly uncommon within what we might call the “eliminationist left.”
Thank you for providing documentation for the fact many of us hold as gospel that there are, in fact, people (?) who actually feel this way . . . and who are largely responsible for both elections of The One.
Her ranting is almost silly enough to be mistaken for satire, but yet so obviously heartfelt that we know without any doubt whatsoever that she is deadly serious.
And she teaches? We are truly doomed.
I read tirades like this from do-gooders such as she simply because I believe in what Sun Tzu wrote…
“It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.”
She is a Quisling, nothing more nothing less. Her actions will sway those who cannot think for themselves and she will appeal to those who have Confirmation bias. I would also add that as director of Women and Gender Studies her writing falls under the “create a problem so you can be seen to be solving the problem” category. The objective being to get more money for here cause which is Women and Gender Studies.
That is the homeliest woman I’ve ever seen. If she were any homelier she would have tipped over to “Ugly”, and I’ve seen a lot of Ugly women. Usually, though, ugly women have A Personality, which is why this person isn’t ugly, I guess.
Moon bats don’t have to be homely. Somehow, it often seems to be part of the same package. There’s probably a philosophical point to be made here, but do I care?
It’s just possible she is unaware that people would disobey such a mandate to the level of killing; that she thinks the mere fact of the pronouncement would bring about her utopia. If she is that deluded, then she doesn’t want you dead, Joel. Just disarmed. And if later being disarmed leads to your death, well it was for the good of the collective.
The mention of bleeding reminds me to ask if you ever followed up with real medical care – not peroxide – for your overworked leg with the unhealed sore spots. The Spenco gell pads you received in a care package some months ago would help healing, if you have any left. MamaLiberty posted really good information about the potential consequences of ignoring non-healing constant open wounds. Just saying….
“Firearm possession should be banned in America; President Obama can orchestrate this directive. His presidency can be remembered as a remarkable turn in United States history where a progressive leader forever changed the landscape under which we live and work. This is his legacy.”
Errrr……well…as an addendum to that “legacy”…… his presidency would be remembered, if he took the actions she screams for, as the one that launched the most bloody dammed revolution in history.
If she was counted among the survivors, there’d be nothing left for her. No job teaching women to be angry rape victims every time a man says “hello”.
No ultra leftist political promises from gregarious charismatic political egalitarians.
No utopian gun free nation.
No country to love or hate at all.
Her stupidity, if accomplished would likely have shockwaves globally that would set things back a century or two in some ways in many places.
Obama knows and loathes this idea.
He wants a library where starry eyed kids and old people will gaze lovingly at his statue waxing all teary about the winner of a hollow peace prize…….he doesn’t want people looking at photos of him doing Benito Mussolini’s best impression of a sleeping fruit bat.
